I am looking to buy some 15mm M48 Tanks for the '73 Siani Campaign. Command Decision has Product ID: PW-803
M48A2C Tanks; however, there is no photo available. Does anyone know if the model is remotely similar to the Magach used in the war with 105mm gun? Such models are indeed available by QRF; however, there are considerably more expensive. Any imput on this would be appreciated. Thanks,

The M-48A2C carried a 90mm main gun. The M-48A5 is where the 105mm came into play. I might be a bit off on this, but doublechecked the highly accurate Wikipedia, and they seem to confirm the same thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M48_Patton Go with the QRF and order in groups of three to receive their multi-ack discount. Might help defray the cost difference. |

The Magach was diesel powered by '73, so you'd need the air filter boxes located on the fenders, approximately 2/3 of the distance to the rear. Aside from the 105 mm gun already mentioned, the commander's MG cupola would've been replaced with either the Urdan low profile cupola or a surplus Sherman vision cupola.
The standard A2C would be appropriate for the '67 war, however. |

Go with the QRF and order in groups of three to receive their multi-pack discount The online system reduces it by 5% for 3-5 of the same item, and 10% for 6 or more. You can always order via Mark at Scale Creep or David at Miniature Armies, to help reduce the shipping costs. |
